  "id": "MLC-T-LAW-005285",
  "term": "Year and day",
  "field": "Law",
  "definition": "A traditional common law period of one year and one day, used to fix time limits for certain legal consequences. Its most familiar use was the homicide rule, under which a death more than a year and a day after an injury could not support a murder charge. Most jurisdictions have abolished that rule, leaving causation to be proved without a fixed cutoff.",
